1 “all have a Canadian background, which will delight you not only in this edition, but in the many issues to follow.” Who would produce these Canadian stories? Naturally, the editor says Hillborough employs “the best artists in Canada.” The first issue of Triumph Adventure Comics includes a letter from the comic book’s editor to its readers, which notes that the stories in issue no. The fact that these characters both have distinctly Canadian identities is no coincidence. These features showcase heroic characters like Cape Breton strongman Derek of Bras d’Or and Inuit demigoddess Nelvana of the Northern Lights. The series is an anthology, with each issue containing several one-page humour strips along with a few longer feature stories. In August 1941, a small Toronto-based comic book publisher called Hillborough Studio released the first issue of its first title, Triumph Adventure Comics.

Catchy choruses, searing guitar riffs and a flair for the theatrics helped the band stand out in more ways than one. The band was signed to Casablanca Records in November 1973 and for most of the decade they toured around the world, skyrocketing to the top of their charts. That fateful listing brought him into the fold of bassist/singer Gene Simmons, rhythm guitarist/singer Paul Stanley and drummer Peter Criss – KISS was officially born. It read, “Lead guitarist wanted with flash and ability.” It was during this time that he answered an ad calling for a guitarist in a hard rock group.

The story starts off during the Cannes Film Festival, which is the height of glitz and glamour for the film industry. When struggling perfumer Sophie Duval shelters Miss Kelly in her boutique to fend off a persistent British press photographer, James Henderson, a bond is forged between the two women and sets in motion a chain of events that stretches across thirty years of friendship, love and tragedy. Their lives are changed forever by their chance encounter with Grace Kelly who is about to become a princess. In Meet Me in Monaco, actress Grace Kelly serves as somewhat of a fairy godmother to both a young French perfumer and a British press photographer. It’s a similar style done well with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in The Editor by Steven Rowley and Queen Elizabeth II, or rather her dress, in The Gown by Jennifer Robson. However, the twist is that the famous person is not the main protagonist but rather a supporting character who is essential to the plot.
